New steed

[ForceIndia]

Ugliest car I'll ever own imho.

 

[The Boosh!]

:approve:

Underestimated Beauty! Love it!

 

[aucky]

Nice ass, funny lookin face, I could live with it

 

[Revels]

Obviously it's just bad light and those wheels are actually black?

 

[stuart1989]

:dead:

 

[Slammed172]

Bring on the 'spec brigade.

Looks smart.

 

[Addz]

Those wheels are f**king disgusting :dapprove:

 

[Greeny.]

Lovely but not a fan of the wheels, will be interesting to see how it compares on track!

 

[jenic]

lol, disguising the front with a volvo :rasp:

 

[Da]

A poor excuse for a media thread

Nice car though :approve:

 

[Christopher]

WHAAAAAA?

Explain yourself, cutie. No Cup chassis, Recaros or Speedlines?

Great colour choice though! They're a brilliant drive, although I've only driven a Cupped one.

I've never driven one before, so took advice of a few friends that had. All said the ride quality was questionable with the cup setup, but the steering was better. This won't be tracked (there will be a seperate car for that built over the winter), so I went with the more comfy setup.
Also meant I could get a car in 3days rather than 3months. This was a cancelled order.
Hate the steering wheel. Too fat (like an m3's) and that blood stitching feels horrible.
Recaro's are yellow, so a non starter.

 

[DB.]

Love it!

 

[Fred@BTM]

kingfisher wrap on order i hope!

What do we think?! That spec is even softer than a 197 (you know, dead slow steering etc etc)

Weighting is vastly better! Tight as a drum and feels faster than the run in 197's I've driven. Shame it looks god awful.

 

[Fletcher]

It looks ok to me, bar the wheels.

 

[arg_carra]

Quite like this tbh......would look even better if the wheels were black

 

[Jordi17]

Nice

 

[16valver50]

nice car,but the wheels look totaly lost in the arch's.

 

[mat-nos]

i like it, just needs black wheels...

 

[ForceIndia]

It's not getting black wheels. You can't polish a turd.

WTF! I thought you were anti 200? i aint been on for a small bit and you own one!

Nein. Anti-197, and I think the 200 is the ugliest hatch renault have ever made. But I don't have to look at it.

Honestly, do you like it?! Still love mine!

Only done mway so far. Very comfy, built well (although not german standard). Def more pull than a 197, shift is good (although the stitching on the knob is very rough).
Exhaust sounds great! That was unexpected.

Don't like the steering wheel, I prefer a thinner rim.

 

[Bloooor]

I prefer a thinner rim.

Oh...


Looks pap. Terrible spec etc etc..

How're you bud? what's happening/happened to the other beast?

Walk to your car blindfolded?

 

[Curtis!]

Rofl @ Rim!

Enjoy it, I know for a fact you'll look cute as f**k in that!

 

[Tunst]

He secretly loves 200's

 

[dmn1989]

lol he said its for the road only so fair play

wouldnt mind a 172 for track and a 200 for road

 

[Clart]

wheels are gashment of the highest order!

 

[Ad]

Strangest thread of the year.

 

[lbrench]

I don't understand this?? U say u don't like It but you just parted with your cash (quiet lot of it) to get a car you don't like?

Also no recaros, no cup chassis, no speedlines, worst colour.

proper poverty spec, would rather have your old car than this spec tbh but each to there own

 

[Curtis!]

He's got a plan in terms of the 3 year finance thing going on Lynden. Guy knows what he's doing!

There's alot of difference in the interior alone, aswell as a warranty and various modern toys!

No cup pack though upsets me lol

is it the 199 quid a month then hand it back deal? It's actually a good deal that u know

 

[Curtis!]

Something around that, something about 8.5k I remember aswell.

The car obviously isn't about being the dogs b****cks to him from my POV, it's more having something reliable that doesn't need fixing every week, abit of comfort and touch of style/speed in there.

 

[Mr Burns]

Warren... I might actually get your car up on bricks in the night and fit you some black wheels, it should be illegal to not have them. Apart from that I quite like it, would be a shame to not track it. Having said that mine is starting to feel like it's had a hard life lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Is it wrong that I quite like it???

Don't get me wrong, its not good looking, but it looks a damn sight better in white than it does in blue or red!

Good choice sir!
